From open landscapes to forest refugia: Human encroachment and climate change as drivers of red deer (Cervus elaphus) niche shifts over 21,000 years Open
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the few remnant species of the European Pleistocene megafauna. It occupies a wide range of habitats across the Holarctic, yet the factors shaping the species’ realized ecological niche over time rema…

Regional databases demonstrate macroecological patterns less clearly than systematically collected field data Open
The analysis of macroecological patterns has necessitated the use of large, composite datasets recording local‐scale species occurrences distributed across the globe. These datasets, however, have various spatial and temporal biases, inclu…

Integrating functional traits into trophic rewilding science Open
Trophic rewilding is gaining rapid momentum as a means of restoration across the world. Advances in research are elucidating the wide‐ranging effects of trophic rewilding and megafauna re‐establishment on ecosystem properties and processes…

Field Data Reveal Strong Latitudinal Gradients in Australian Marine Bivalves Open
Latitudinal diversity gradients are among the most studied macroecological phenomena. However, they tend to be described using large composite datasets that often show taxonomic and geographic sampling bias. Here we describe a latitudinal …

Body size and abundance are decoupled from species richness in Australian marine bivalves Open
The “more individuals hypothesis” suggests that increases in the total number of individuals per species leads to increases in community richness. Abundance, body size distributions and richness do vary with latitude in several taxonomic g…

Marine diversity patterns in Australia are filtered through biogeography Open
Latitudinal diversity gradients are among the most striking patterns in nature. Despite a large body of work investigating both geographic and environmental drivers, biogeographical provinces have not been included in statistical models of…
